Why?

I'm still pretty sure that you can't ship with binaries and I really don't see the need for it. Maven has a generic boot process that it use to build itself. This bootstrap mechanism most likely can be (and was designed to be) usable for bootstraping other Maven-based projects. As I've said before I want to help out from the Maven side of things so if changes are needed to the bootstrap I'll take care of that part. It will be useful for everyone who's looking into making Maven to packages. -- Trygve

Maybe such a Developer Guide would also be useful for other GNU/Linux distributions. OK, there are a few Debian-speciic issues, but surely most of the problems a developer might encounter are more general than that. I'm aware from the questions we get asked on the gcj list that we need some proper user documentation. Andrew. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
